7. Calibrate the Titan by holding the Right
Thumbstick (Pitch/Roll) in the bottom right
position. This ensures that the Titan stays level
and flies straight. The Lights on the Titan will
flash fast while calibrating. Keep holding the
Thumbstick in the bottom right position until
calibration is complete.
If the Titan starts to fly abnormally, it may need to be recalibrated. To
recalibrate the Titan turn the Remote Control and Titan off and then restart
the Flying Your Titan process.
When calibrating the Titan, please ensure that the Titan is on a level surface.

is calibrated, the motors will need to be
unlocked before you fly. To unlock the motors
move the left thumbstick to the right and
downward position while also moving the
right thumbstick to the left and downward
position as shown in the diagram.
When done correctly the rotor blades will spin waiting for take off
PLEASE NOTE: For a quick take off that will skip the step of unlocking the
motors, press the auto take off button on the remote control after
calibration. This will instruct the Titan to take off and hover at shoulder

Capture the skies.™
Once the remote has been paired with the Titan drone, do not approach the
drone until the remote has been powered off.
4.1.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING
Do not approach the drone again until the remote has been powered
off. If for any reason the Titan does not work after following the
launching steps, please check the following.
a) The Titan battery is fully charged, correctly connected and not
damaged.
b) The batteries in the Remote Control are of the same brand, have
an equal amount of charge and have enough charge to power
the remote control correctly (Using an assortment of batteries will
affect the performance of the Remote Control).
c) The connection between the Remote Control and the Titan may
not have been completed correctly. Ensure that when activating
the connection, the Left Thumb stick (Acceleration/Yaw) is moved
all the way to the bottom and then returned to the middle. If this is
not completed the connection will not activate.
Once these points have been checked turn both the Titan and the
Remote Control off and start the launching process again.
